RSGB Bandplan (effective from 1st December 2006)

The following bandplan is largely based on that agreed at the 2005 IARU Region 1 Conference with some local differences on

frequencies above 430 MHz.

Note 1:   Stations in countries which do not have access to the all modes section 2,322-2,390 MHz, use the simplex and repeater

segment 2,320-2,322 MHz for data transmission.

Note 2:   Stations in countries that do not have access to the narrow band segment 2,321-2,322 MHz, use the alternative narrow

band segment 2,304-2,306 MHz and 2,308-2,310 MHz.

Note 3:   The segment 2,433-2,443 MHz may be used for ATV if no satellite is using the segment.

LICENCE NOTES:   Amateur service: Secondary User: Users must accept interference from ISM users.

Amateur satellite service: 2,400-2,450 MHz: Secondary user:   Users must accept interference from ISM

users.    *In the sub-bands 2,310.000-2,310.4125; 2,355-2,365 and 2,392-2,450 MHz

unattended operation is not allowed within 50km of SS206127 (Bude) or SE202577 (Harrogate).

ISM = Industrial, scientific and medical.

Notes to the Bandplan

ITU-R Recommendation SM.328 (extract)

Necessary bandwidth: For a given class of emission, the width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to

ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions.

The use of Amplitude Modulation (AM) is acceptable in the all modes segments but users are asked to consider

adjacent channel activity when selecting operating frequencies.

Foundation and Intermediate Licence holders are advised to check their licences for the permitted power limits and

conditions applicable to their class of licence.
